NY Giants make roster move with top three offensive tackles missing practice
With rash of injuries at tackle, Giants make a move for emergecy depth.
The New York Giants bolstered their roster on Wednesday by signing offensive tackle Josh Sills from the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Sills, 28, has experience playing in 21 games for the Colts and Philadelphia Eagles since 2022, and is a former undrafted free agent. He has racked up 41 offensive and 79 special teams snaps throughout his career.
The decision to sign Sills was prompted by injuries to the team's top three tackles. Andrew Thomas has been dealing with a groin injury since Week 2, Jermaine Eluemunor missed last week's game, and Marcus Mbow was injured late in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Despite these setbacks, Sills is the only healthy tackle currently on the Giants' roster.
Rookie J.C. Davis, who made his debut against the Saints, is the only other tackle available. The Giants' roster alterations continued as they waived running back Najee Harris and outside linebacker Jihad Ward on Tuesday, adding only outside linebacker Trace Ford to maintain their 53-man roster capacity.
